Manya Singh with her parents
A video of Miss India runners-up Manya Singh emotionally greeting her parents has gone viral on social media with many hailing her success.
Manya, a daughter of a auto-rickshaw driver can be seen in the video touching her mother's feet and hugging her father, as the three of them get visibly emotional over her achievement.
In another clip, Manya puts her runners-up crown on her parent's heads, thereby causing her mother to break into tears.
"I am fortunate to have a daughter like Manya. She struggled hard, day and night, to achieve her dream. We stood by her and gave it our all. Back then, it did look out of reach. But she did it. Now, I hope all parents encourage their daughters to touch the sky. Please support your daughters, so that they continue to dream", her mother Manorama has been quoted as saying.
Her father while driving her to her alma-mater Thakur College of Science and Commerce after her success said, "Today when I was driving the auto, there was this uncontrollable happiness. I was trying hard not to cry. I remembered how I would sometimes drop her to her college. Today, I was taking her with the crown on her head. I feel I have got my life's worth of happiness".
